Paying your pension every month is our main aim. Your pension payslips and P60s are available for you to view and download on the member portal. Just log in and find all the information you need.

Changing your bank details

We’ll pay your pension directly into your bank account. If you change back details, it’s vital you let us know in plenty of time. You can do this on the member portal – just log in. If you wish to have your pension paid into an overseas bank account, you can download a Western Union overseas bank mandate from the portal by specifying the relevant country.

Pension payslips

Your monthly payslips are available to view and download on the member portal. Your April payslip will show any annual pension increase that is applied for the year ahead.

Pension increases

We apply any annual increases to pensioner payments on 1 April each year. The increase you get will depend on the BTPS section you’re a member of and the pension option you chose at retirement. The increases are linked to either the Consumer Prices Index or Retail Prices Index which are government indexes capturing rises or falls in the cost of living. If you chose a pension increase exchange option at retirement, then any percentage annual increase will only apply to part of your pension. Your Payslip Guide above explains how pension increases are applied.
